Back From Oblivion

If anyone is still reading, or for lack of postings, "checking" my blog I wanted to share that I am back from OBLIVION. This semester has gotten the better of me, but now I'm back to reclaim myself amidst the destruction of what my research has done to me these past few months. Although I am no where near "accomplished" in my work this semester I am trying to trust that it will be finished . . . or at the least I'm praying that it will be! Anyone want to join in? In prayer that is!

I would love to catch you all up on the wonderful, amazing things I've been doing and the spectacular places I've been and the fabulous things that are happening in my life. . . unfortunately I live in Dayton, Ohio and attend graduate school . . . oh and did I mention: live in a freshmen dorm!

Actually we did go on retreat in Indiana in the beginning of February. To most midwesterners this is nothing . . . to me, a displaced eastcoaster? It was a new state to add to the list! Oh, I suppose I forgot as well, I spent my spring break with seven students in El Paso, Texas and Juarez, Mexico for a Spring Breakout trip. These trips are offered through campus ministry for students as an educational alternative to the spring breaks that the "average" college student attends! The fun part to share is that our group might be featured in a documentary on globalizaton and economic justice at the border entitled Agua Miel: Secrets of the Agave. You can check out the website where footage will soon be available!

This week I also visited Cincinnati for the first time! What a great city, why couldn't the University of Dayton be in Cincinnati?

Well, I must be getting back to life. I would like to promise more frequent updates. . . but we all know that sometimes life is unpredictable and at times chaotic. So I will simply promise to try!
